Tomlin doesn't renew James Saxon RB coach's contract

I have made the decision to not renew the contract for running backs coach James Saxon. We would like to thank James for his efforts over the past five years, and we wish him the best in his future coaching endeavors.

Little odd to me....

She said, "Love me, " so I love her
She said, "Leave me, " so I left
Then I went to Pittsburgh
And I ain't never comin' back

I suppose Saxon told LevBell to hold out and kicked James Conner in the ankle. Left with a rookie and a broken down fumbler like Ridley and did I mention that James Conner was elected to the pro bowl. Tomlin, what a putz!

I saw that the run game was rated 31st. But I think Bell, Conner's injury, and Jaysam being raw at the position all contributed.

That and Cool (nuts) Shades abandoning the run. Also Conner out a few games didn't help either. What ranking was the run game when thewy were 7-2-1 ???? What caused the slide.........????

What was the ranking of Special Teams at 7-2-1................. did they improve or slide by end of year................................Is Danny Smith still making wages paid by the STEELERS....???????

Salute the nation

Definitely odd when the D coaches are still there. Did anyone watch the Beagles make shift secondary? We need coaches like that who can pull anyone off the street and have them play, at least, respectable, if not very good.

I was pissed watching our D gloat about being 6th in the league but wished they made the playoffs. 6th means nothing. The D, sucked when it mattered most. In 4 games, they gave up a long drive to lose. Stop any one of those drives and we are in the playoffs. Our D still sucked.

But, since Tomlin runs the D and has since LeBeau left, nothing will happen there unless he is fired or Rooney forces him to make Butler the scapegoat.
